Actually, you have to be careful of what you expect if you go see Styx these days, since the acrimonious break-up with Dennis DeYoung. Not only do the remaining Styx members avoid some of DeYoung’s popular ballads in concert but I also went to see a concert billed as Dennis DeYoung performs the music of Styx and not only does he avoid many of the hard rock Styx songs but I’d guess that at least half of his concert wasn’t Styx music and some of that was more Broadway than rock.

Haven’t been to a concert in decades. Between the traffic jams, the outrageous ticket prices and the crowds all vying to get the best seats - I have taken the cowards way out.

I have a home theater, and have a pretty nice system put together (110 inch 1080 screen, 7.1 Dolby Surround, THX Ultra II rated system, ect. ect.) so I have gotten into collecting some concerts filmed in DVD or Blu-Ray. One of the most impressive concerts I have heard is Styx “One with Everything”, where they worked with The Contemporary Youth Orchestra of Cleveland and put together a show.

It was amazing, the kids got to hear what musical talent ia all about - you could see the joy in their faces as they played some of the classical Rock that their parents enjoyed. If you are a Styx fan, and care to rent a Styx concert just to check it out - I gotta give a big thumbs up for this one.
